Panenka proud Sergio Ramos imitates his penalties

Panenka played for his country between 1973 and 1982 as an attacking midfielder and enjoyed a long career at club level with the likes of Bohemians and Rapid Vienna.

But he is most remembered for his spot-kick technique, which is said to have first come to international attention when he stepped up in the Euro 1976 final shoot-out after a 2-2 draw with West Germany in Belgrade.

Czechoslovakia were 4-3 up on penalties when Panenka shaped to place his attempt to the goalkeeper's left, but instead sent a delicate chip down the centre of the goal to win the title in style.

Panenka's penalty has been imitated throughout world football ever since, but Ramos has done so on numerous occasions – the latest coming in Sunday's 4-2 win over Celta Vigo – and that fills the 69-year-old with pride.
